Homosexuals will never be satisfied with any amount of tolerance or acceptance. Homosexuality is an insatiable desire, inflamed by perverted lusts. These people will not be satisfied even when they begin beating down doors and demanding to send out the visitors “so we may know them”.

a better analogy would be to point out the absurdity of the government compelling a Muslim caterer to serve pork at a wedding or an Orthodox Jewish photographer to shoot a wedding on the Sabbath. (For more on this, see Ramesh Ponnuru's response to Bruni.)

Christianity has largely become a religion of convenience with increasingly fewer devout practitioners.

Hence those who do practice their faith more than an occasional hour every seventh day are regarded as enemies of the people (and their gods of industry and 7 day commerce).

In short, liberal Christianity has become its own worst enemy.

Or as +John of Damascus wrote 14 centuries ago, "Islam is God's judgement on an unfaithful Church">

He’s actually being pretty honest about what the homosexual fascists want.

They are starting in the schools so no need to beat on doors.

Why is Bruni honestly expect a Muslim cakebaker to cater a gay wedding?

Or a mosque to host the venue?

how about an orthodox jew temple as venue? no? just Christians?

why do gays only single out those who they mistakenly believe are supposed to tolerate every behavior ‘in the name of Jesus’?

and how about they keep their own sex lives in their homes?

Even more, I don’t have someone demanding and suing me to believe that Mormon marriages are eternal, I don’t have someone demanding that I should eat kosher with the threat of a lawsuit, etc.

This editor really hates somebody, that’s for sure.

I hope he realizes that if you “come out” to those Muslims in their home territory, you are regarded as stepping out of line. You are very low status in the Middle East. In fact, there’s plenty of people who go to Israel seeking tolerance, and yet, to the liberals, Israel is the oppressor. The logic of the American left is the logic of someone on LSD, their senses and their reasoning do not line up one bit.

I support the right of people to believe what they do and say what they wish politically — in their voting booths, homes and hearts.

"Would we be content to let a Muslim store owner who believes that a woman should always cover her hair refuse service to women who do not? Or a Mormon hairdresser who spurns coffee to turn away clients who saunter in with frappuccinos?"

Yes and yes.

You are correct. They’ll run themselves out of business in a free market.

The left is simply using the homos to advance an anti-Christian agenda.
They aren’t pro-homo, they just hate Christians and see this as a good cover.

Judging from the levels of illigitamacy and immoral behavior even among the heartland proles, are you really sure this is a “moral Christian” nation? Now buy this bridge in Brooklyn from me...
